Cannot connect to postgreSQL database

As of yesterday I am unable to use my HM2, cause on start it pops up a message saying: "Cannot connect to postgreSQL database"??? Wizard cannot solve the problem, it instructs to solve the problem manually. Any suggestions???

then click on the windows start-thing -> right click on "computer" -> click on "manage" -> Expand "Services and Applications -> roll down to "Postgresql something" -> rigth click and then click on "start"

then click on the windows start-thing -> right click on "computer" -> click on "manage" -> Expand "Services and Applications -> roll down to "Postgresql something" -> rigth click and then click on "start"

Wow, my brain works so poorly on Monday mornings! I went trough step by step troubleshoot from HM2 web site, but only changed it to "Automatic", without looking if it is started!!!!

Started it, works as usual.

Thanks

Many people have helped me here in this community so I´m glad if I can help anyone.

Don´t know what it is with the database. On on of my computers I have to restart Potgresql every second day on the other I don´t think I ever have had to do it.

If *that* doesn't work, there are postgres forums also. PostgreSQL also keeps logs, but I could not find them -- perhaps you need to enable logging. There is documentation here:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\PostgreSQL 8.4\Documentation
(W7 -- and I presume W8 also. XP it is likely under the main program folder).
